An issue was discovered in Zoho ManageEngine Application Manager through 14.2. There is a SQL Injection vulnerability in jsp/NewThresholdConfiguration.jsp via the resourceid parameter. Therefore, a low-authority user can gain the authority of SYSTEM on the server. One can consequently upload a malicious file using the "Execute Program Action(s)" feature.

→Detect SQL injection attempts against the resourceid parameter of NewThresholdConfiguration.jsp; payloads use CHAR()-encoded strings (e.g., CHAR(65)+CHAR(68)+...) characteristic of MSSQL/PostgreSQL blind SQLi. ↗
→Check for the version fingerprint string 'Build No:142' in HTTP responses from the ManageEngine Application Manager index page, which the exploit uses to confirm a vulnerable target. ↗
→Monitor for GET requests to /showTile.do with TileName=.ExecProg parameter, which the exploit uses to enumerate the execution directory and confirm the 'Execute Program Action(s)' feature is accessible. ↗
→A low-privilege user account performing admin-level actions (createExecProgAction, executeScript) after authentication is a strong indicator of successful privilege escalation via SQLi-created admin account. ↗

·The exploit supports both MSSQL and PostgreSQL backends; SQLi payload construction differs per database type. Detection rules should account for both CHAR()-based (MSSQL) and PostgreSQL-specific injection syntax. ↗
·The default Metasploit module uses port 9090 without SSL; deployments behind a reverse proxy on port 443/80 with SSL will require adjusted network detection signatures. ↗
·The exploit targets ManageEngine Application Manager through version 14.2 (Build No:142); versions beyond this build are reported as not vulnerable by the module's check function. ↗
